Title: Mauston Trial! Post by: dschigoda on April 20, 2015, 04:06:06 PM I had loads of fun riding the Mauston Trial yesterday! It was good to reconnect with our Minnesota brethren too! And on top of it all, no rain!
One word to describe many of the sections - Dramatic! ( in a good way). Title: Re: Mauston Trial! Post by: Old SDTR on April 20, 2015, 08:52:10 PM I have waited all winter to get riding again we were having a very rough week and then a close friend past away on top of all else.
Looking forward to Wauzeka.....Lord willing..... Title: Re: Mauston Trial!

I stayed over and Monday AM had schnizzle , puddles and wet snow ,so we finally got the good blessing of weather lady. I am pretty sure all but advanced classes had the winner in single digits, maybe lines were too e z or those guys could ride harder class? Im sorry Advanced only got 1 loop of 12 , I think 3 or 4 people should be biggest group ,maybe a timer so only 3 to 5 minutes elapse b 4 someone rides . I am still not a fan of any exact cutoff time as in groups you just have hard time keeping good pace. Maybe we should try N I T R O style rotational checking next time there is a large ish turnout. Possibly just using it for a class that has over 10 riders ?? I am already eyeing up where next virgin terrain is developed, best spots are right over knob from 4 all the way to 5 possibly having a climb to top right above where 5 was then between 9 and 10 some very big dead trees laying on great steppy type stuff/ and also above 12 further up there are some real fun looking things to slam.Also from 12 on back to property line is another lobe of fun with at least 1 real wild big outcrop double or triple up similar to section 11 and a world class slab waterfall probably too much for our champs even.Maybe Brad can work a line in there . Thanks to all who made it and if you missed it bummer ,it was generally aawesome -a bit dry and loose in spots- but actualy amazingly rideable for land that has never been touched- big thanks to all the rakers,blowers, and marking helpers. Cheers,Noel
